  • OP’s profile:

    Working on Plebbit

    For those who don’t know, that was a shitty hard right wing social media that kept talking vaguely about how it was like crypto and torrenting.

    For years now people have been spamming it to the threadiverse and trying to trick people into joining.

    If you go to this website:

    https://bitsocial.net/

    It lists 5chan as inspiration…

    And people are upvoting and promoting this entirely unmoderated chan board because two seconds of research is too difficult…

    Like, c’mon people, critical thinking is important now more than ever

    Quick edit:

    And to be clear this is the exact same project OP always spams, they just keep changing the name of it. It used to be accessible over the web tho, which allowed everyone to see the fucking horrendously racist, bigoted, and outright illegal shit they want people to be able to post.




  • Nope, this is natural.

    Like, straight up default human behavior, and conservativesare actually really good at manipulating people using basic human psychology.

    An absolute shit ton of people who grew up as “outsiders” really just want to be with the majority “in group” and are willing to side with them against smaller minorities.

    Like, that’s the whole TERF thing in a nutshell.

    Women who were treated poorly for being women, and trying to side with their abusers against a weaker target.

    It’s literally the reason most mothers abuse their children. Same psychology, just different target.

    Hell, it’s the same reason weak men target women and children in the first place

    An innate desire for a “human pecking order” that displays at varying rates due to normal human variation.

    Racism too, LBJ described it generations ago after seeing firsthand what Republicans were doing in the South:

    If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you."

    We need to understand why this keeps working to fight it…




  • He can’t control our future if we throw him in jail.

    And people forget we can just do that, historically it would even go down as a merciful revolution. Just throw all the oligarchs and billionaires in jail, and take all their money and redistribute that.

    They’ll say “that’s not legal” but who honestly gives a flying fuck at this point what’s legal? Let em sit in jail and repeat over and over “this isn’t fair” for the rest of their natural lives.

    We can just do it shirt brothers, the oligarchs decided theres no more rules, so why do we let rules hold us back?

    At this point it’s an inevitability that it’s gonna come to that point, it’s just how much we put up with before it.



  • Kind of?

    Like a thousand years ago in Italy the concept started.

    A guy with a bunch of money, would give a guy with no money and a boat the funds to buy cargo and ship it.

    If something bad happened the guy with the boat an no money was liable for the loss of cargo, and wouldn’t have the funds to pay, they’d just go bankrupt.

    If nothing bad happened, the guy with no money paid back the investor plus profits.

    Then it evolved into government enforced monopolies like “East India Trading Co”.

    Which are more like modern corps, but less like what you’re talking about but I’m pretty sure that’s what you meant and not the earlier Italian corporations?



  • Because YouTube’s copyright claim system operates without individual human review of each dispute

    Bots telling bots that humans aren’t human…

    There’s an easy solution to this:

    Legislation that requires giant trillion dollar companies actually employ living breathing humans who can perform a task rather than automate it despite that not working and then just not caring.

    And people are going to say that’s hard…

    But all we need to do is pass a single law that says if AI fucks up, the CEO of the company is personally and financially liable because he’s the one that ultimately entrusted the task to AI.

    Do that, and suddenly corps wouldn’t hand everything to AI as intentional incompetence.

    If we don’t do it soon, corps will just blame AI for everything and declare no one is ever at fault

    She thinks “normal people” should act like AI

    Just blindly accept blame, tell her she’s stunning and brave, and swear “convincingly” that it’ll never happen again.

    Imagine you’re her PA, she has a dumb idea, you do everything to save it…

    And when it barely manages to get pulled off, she bitches you out for it not being perfect even tho it’s impossible. That was likely what was cut off. A normal human might defend themselves, break down, or just quit

    Chatbots don’t care, they’ll say whatever will keep you typing. And their promises to do better mean nothing, if it was that easy for them to not make mistakes, AI companies would pay her trillions to send crazy all caps insult texts to chatbots all day

    She got an empty promise and isn’t smart enough to realize it means nothing.

    She thought no deeper than “that’s what I wanted to hear” the reality of what she is told doesn’t matter. If it had said “there are limits to current AI” she’d have quit using it, so it maintained a customer by any means necessary, a chat it’s primary directive.

    I mean, the Nazis had universal healthcare too…

    The fucked up thing, is that is an incredibly low bar, and most dictators understand that they need at least some citizens healthy and educated to able to work to pay taxes.

    So yeah…

    A lot of horrible authoritarians who commit daily human rights abuses, still give some of their citizens healthcare and a good education.


  • making an unexpected move into broadcasting after pledging to abandon “side quests” and focus on its core business.

    That’s exactly what they’re doing here tho…

    The “core business” is hype, because hype is the only reason to use, invest in, or support current AI.

    There’s nothing they can do to raise share price more than buying an existing reputable source to make it a propaganda shill.

    The author is still operating under the assumption that AI can be made profitable if only they work a little harder. It’s not gonna happen, it’s a fucking boondoggle who only exists to grift investors. Once you’re roped in, you have a financial incentive to perpetuate the grift.

    And now TBPN (whatever that is) has a financial incentive to tell people how great AI is




  • Rail was owned by the wealthiest and they made their money shipping freight.

    Lobbyists got the US government to “sell” them the actual railways, but they had to maintain it.

    So if/when there’s a conflict on the rail, freight gets to go first. They’re giant heavy trains moving insanely slowly, so even tho passenger could get by faster, they sit for hours waiting.

    Back to private companies maintaining the rails, they did cost/benefit analysis and decided since they pay insurance anyways, it’s not smart to fix anything till insurance rates go up.

    The problem is when a wreck happens there’s public outcry, so the government uses taxpayer funds to fix it quickly.

    They wait till an accident happens, insurances pays for just the cargo, and that’s insured by the supper so the train insurance never goes up. Taxpayers pay to clean up the wreck and put in new tracks.

    With the current system, the wrecks will keep happening more and more frequently because stuff only gets fixed after it fails, and only that one spot.
